Chamberlin "Cabinizes" Indie-Pop Covers For New EP

The folk world has cabin fever. Bon Iver’s incubation period in his Wisconsin cabin may have caught on. Vermont Americana outfit Chamberlin have now coined the term “cabinize” as something entirely different.

In defining the term “CA-bin-IZE,” Chamberlin refers to the act of taking a song with unique, modern elements and strips it down at their cabin, showing the strength of the song at its core.”

Anyone who lived on planet earth in 2009 most likely heard at least one track from Passion Pit’s 2009 synth-pop record, Manners. Chamberlin chose to trade in the sampling and the children’s choir for an acoustic guitar on the record’s hit song “Little Secrets.”

For their next EP, the band has teamed up with us, Stetson Apparel and Roll Call Records to “let fans decide which songs they will “cabinize next. Anyone who votes will automatically receive a free download of the upcoming EP, a free copy of the band’s original single “Paper Crown” and a chance to win a Stetson sponsored prize pack—a shirt, pants and boots that are valued at $400.
